Wow. Convicted Florida crypto criminal Joel Greenberg’s attorney implied his client gave the DOJ info re: “election interference,” & “election fraud.” (Election fraud & crypto are a natural fit.) Greenberg was close w/ Roger Stone & Matt Gaetz. He also donated to DeSantis. 1/
2/ Convicted crypto crook Joel Greenberg with Roger Stone & Matt Gaetz.
3/ Joel Greenberg, Matt Gaetz, and Ron DeSantis at a Teens for America First fundraiser for DeSantis in 2018.
4/ Joel Greenberg also has ties to Roger Stone’s longtime assistant Jacob Engels who, along w/ his business partner Leslie (“LA”) Key helped Greenberg falsely implicate Greenberg’s opponent in pedophilia, a crime for which Greenberg pled guilty. Engels & Key escaped charges.
5/ A fake Facebook account called “April Goad” also promoted the smear against Greenberg’s political opponent, music teacher Brian Beute. In July 2020, FB finally took down “April Goad” & other fake accounts reportedly tied to Roger Stone, Jacob Engels, & the Proud Boys.
6/ Crypto criminal Joel Greenberg had awarded “LA” Key had a contract with the Seminole County tax collector’s office. She ran a separate company with Roger Stone’s assistant, Jacob Engels.
7/ Convicted crypto criminal Joel Greenberg eventually opened a crypto company INSIDE the Seminole County tax collector’s office. He used the LLC to facilitate his crimes whereby he stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the tax collector’s office & converted it to crypto,
8/ The company that convicted crypto criminal Joel Greenberg opened inside the Seminole County tax collector’s office listed two agents: Greenberg and 22 year old Samuel Armes.
9/ Samuel Armes, in turn, worked with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to establish the Florida Blockchain Task Force. @gal_suburban
10/ Here’s the kicker. Armes also started the Florida Bitcoin Business Association (FBBA). Miami crypto queen Eryka Gemma sits or sat on the board of FBBA. She also happens to the person who reportedly gave the “1776 returns” document to former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio.
13/ Given this background, it is easy to see why prosecutors might want to know if Jacob Engels, Roger Stone’s longtime assistant, has ties to Miami crypto queen Eryka Gemma.
14/ It’s also easy to see why investigators are looking at the 2018 Stop the Steal campaign, which sought to disrupt the recounts in the FL senate & gubernatorial races. That’s Jacob Engels in front. Proud Boy leader Joe Biggs is there too, as are Jack Posobiec & Ali Alexander.
15/ If anyone should have worried about the integrity of that election, it was the Democrats, as I explained here. jennycohn1.medium.com/florida-midter…
16/ As further detailed in the piece in post 15, the Center for American Progress gave Florida an “F” grade on the issue of election security in 2018.
17/ Jacob Engels also received $$$ from the 2018 campaign of Jason Brodeur, a Republican state Senator who won his race due to a sham “ghost” third party candidate.
18/ Here’s a memo I created a while ago summarizing Brodeur’s race. The third party candidate’s campaign received $173,000 in dark money. Brodeur was pals with Joel Greenberg & Matt Gaetz.
19/ FL state Senator Jason Brodeur—who benefitted from a dark-$$$ funded sham candidate—was pals not only w/ convicted crypto crook Joel Greenberg, but also w/ Seminole County election supervisor. Chris Anderson. As I said, his campaign also paid Roger Stone lackey Jacob Engels.
23/ I want to say that @gal_suburban deserves credit for much of the info in this thread. Please follow her if you aren’t already. Thanks!
24/ But there’s more. Remember the scandal that ended Andrew Gillum’s career after he ran against (now) Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in 2018? Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio (another close friend of Roger Stone) somehow got the photo, and it was Jacob Engels who published it.
Terrific post by @LuluFriesdat of @Smart_elections —which seeks a hand recount of the presidential election in Rockland County, NY—in which they correct those who have wrongly suggested that Smart Elections’ legitimate concerns & findings thus far amount to “proof” that the election was rigged for Trump.
THIS is what credible election integrity messaging looks like: “Are we concerned about all the software updates they released? You bet we are. Can we say conclusively that there was some kind of malware in those updates that changed vote totals? No we cannot. That’s why we’re in court. To get that kind of information.”

Those of you who have followed me for years know that I spent about four years of my life focusing on election security. (See my article below.) 2/ buckscountybeacon.com/2023/10/trump-…
3/ After the Big Lie, I felt that the movement had been so discredited—by people improperly conflating vulnerabilities with “proof” of fraud & then using that non-existent “proof” to justify violence—that I could no longer effectively advance this ball.
“As of three weeks ago, 172 of these individuals [pardoned by Trump] had pled guilty to assaulting law enforcement. By their own admission, they assaulted police. About 140 officers were injured, including Officer Brian Sicknick, who died the following day. Four officers who responded that day have since died by suicide.” 1/25/25 (Link in post 2.)

Trump has picked Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. As of 9 days ago, Ingrassia’s Instagram included a pinned photo of himself w/ self-professed “misogynist” Andrew Tate who has since been charged w/ rape & trafficking in the UK & who performed the Nazi salute on video (in apparent defense of Elon Musk). 1/
MAGA’s favorite White South African activist group—Afriforum—admitted last year that “there is no white genocide going on in South Africa.”
(In 2018, Afriforum had traveled to the US to discuss their claim that White South African farmers were being murdered due to their race. They have since hobnobbed with Tucker Carlson, Jack Posobiec, New Founding, CPAC, & NatCon.) 1/
The Center for Renewing America—founded by Trump’s OMB Director pick Russ Vought, a top architect of Project 2025—has *explicitly* said that it wants the federal govt to “eliminate” Obamacare’s life-saving Medicaid expansion. Here are some stats on the expansion. 1/ cbpp.org/research/healt…
